I doubt there is anything we can or should do. Putin has a lot more
interest in keeping Ukraine aligned with Russia than the US or the EU
has in fighting about it.

I agree, and that would include the making of threats.

The people in the East tend to want to stay Russian and the west would
like to be European so the easy answer sounds like it would be
dividing the country but that is never as easy as it sounds.
Unfortunately their economy sucks so bad that the EU doesn't really
want any of it. They have enough crap in the punch bowl now.
